Rabbi Daniel Lapin

In war, whether economic or military, masculine countries tend to beat feminine countries. What is gender with countries and societies? Why do some societies become feminized? Why is this dangerously destructive? Is there a way to "have it all"? Read about how to integrate the different areas of your life in our new book The Holistic You. Available at your favorite bookseller now.    Learn more about your ad choices.

In this show we answer the puzzling paradoxes in the previous show. Even the most baffling behavioral enigmas surrender to a coherent moral matrix. A moral matrix answers questions in four main areas: Family, Finance, Friendships, and Fitness. A moral matrix is not time dependent; what was moral years ago will still be moral in years to come. Could a moral matrix emerge by itself in an isolated society? Why do secular/socialistic regimes never endure for very long? Read about Scrolling Through Scripture and listen to a lesson for free now!  https://tinyurl.com/43z9e23e  Discover the connection between a country’s legal system and its underlying moral matrix.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Much of what you say flows subconsciously from your morality matrix. Many of your decisions are made based on your morality matrix. If you don’t have one, you are making a whole bunch of damaging mistakes in your life. With a proper functioning morality matrix you make far fewer mistakes and life is more joyful. With no morality matrix, or worse, a broken one, you are making decisions in finance, romance, and socially that will come back and bite you—if they haven’t already done so. Morality is not like a toddler learning to walk. Gaining one is not automatic. A functioning morality matrix is like calculus, cooking or car repair. Unless you make the effort to acquire them, you won’t have them. There are more than one morality matrix available. Did you ever deliberately and purposefully choose yours? Do you and your spouse share a morality matrix? If not, God help you! Your morality matrix is not confined to your faith. How well you are doing with Family, Finances, and Friendships has much to do with the exist

A young man says goodbye to his father and goes off to war. Why is this war different from every other ethnic conflict? Why can this one not be resolved by dividing the territory down the middle? Your rabbi is still in Israel. Why is the notorious Two State Solution, beloved by silly politicians, never going to be? Does Islam hate Christianity more than Christians love it? How many times has Islam tried to conquer Europe and turn it into part of the Moslem world? Why did Gazans in 2005 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did the Nazis in 1938 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did rioters, thugs and looters (Sorry, I meant to say “protestors”) in 2020 destroy millions of panes of glass in American cities? The deeper and inescapable truth about this Clash of Destiny https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/clash-of-destiny-instant-download/   Is it true that violence never solves anything? Where did civilization come from?  Finally, understand the distinction between Civilization and Barbarism in terms of

The real purpose behind the Hamas mini-missiles. What is the atmosphere like right now on Israel’s streets? What happened in my synagogue just outside Jerusalem when the sirens went off on Saturday morning. Comparing civilian mortality rates in Israel’s Yom Kippur war fifty years ago with what happened on Saturday. The titanic struggle between civilization and barbarism. How long can Israel’s economy withstand a mobilization of over a quarter million reservists? The Israel Defense Force in some cases took five hours to get to besieged communities suffering pogroms and massacres such as haven’t been seen since the Nazis attempted genocide in World War 2.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Naomi Wolf has been writing left-leaning provocative books and articles since she achieved fame as a feminist leader over thirty years ago. She advised Bill Clinton on his 1996 presidential election campaign, and she advised the Al Gore/Joe Lieberman presidential campaign in 2000. It would seem hard for Susan Lapin and your rabbi to find any common ground with her for a cordial conversation. Most of what she stood for and espoused we considered, and still do, dangerous and destructive drivel but she was always eloquent and coherent. However, we discovered some highly unusual aspects to this gutsy woman and we invited her to chat with us on this show. She graciously accepted and we greatly enjoyed the result. Now you can too. Our best book ever: The Holistic You Integrating Your Family, Finances, Friendships, Faith, and Fitness. Read about it here https://a.co/d/gx9YFF1   Naomi Wolf is no tennis ball floating down the gutter of life.

Now here’s a question: Why do men have nipples? Oh, we all know about Y chromosomes, but really, why? Here’s another: Why are male babies more fragile than female babies? What happens to a world of women, females, feminists?

Now here’s a paradox. Find the freedom to unleash all your creative potential precisely by limiting your freedom and learning how to use restriction and regulation. Why you resemble a .223 rifle round. Taking a job does rule out all other jobs and marrying someone is ruling out all the other amazing people who might be waiting around the corner. Starting a business does rule out all the other things you could be doing. In today’s show we reveal the solution to the paradox. Read more about the incredibly effective Financial Prosperity Collection here:  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/financial-prosperity-collection?seg_id=01GD41TEC123FMDH3CT92WHQ9D.12051.1693537083366 For the first time, I interview the charismatic creator of the Christian Coalition, Ralph Reed.

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life but even we can inadvertently catch the contagious and destructive shortage virus. It is spread from person to person and via media, entertainment, and politics. And when you’ve caught it, you will start believing that we live in a world of shortage. You will prostrate yourself at the altar of recycling to prove to yourself that without recycling, we’re doomed because of shortage. You will buy a smaller car than you really want, not because you can’t afford anything else but because you believe we are short of oil and energy. You will keep your summer air conditioner set too high for comfort to save electricity. That is only part of what catching the shortage virus can do to your life. The worst part is that you make less money than you should and can.  Fight financial shortage by learning about the Financial Prosperity Collection here:  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/financial-prosperity-collection?seg_id=01GD41TEC123FMDH3CT92WHQ9D.12051.1

We’re all attracted to self-improvement. In some way, right? We want to improve our bank accounts; we want to improve our health by losing weight; we want to improve our conversational ability, our memories, our knowledge, our appearance, and much more. We love self-improvement. But we don’t always know that inner improvement is the gateway to all other improvement. It is a bit like wanting to bring in a gardener, a landscaper, and a tree specialist to improve our yard but keeping the gate locked so none of the workers can enter. Opening the portal to self-improvement is what Mussar is all about and my guest on this show, Ruchi Korval is a specialist in the ancient Jewish practice of Mussar. This is her book  https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/soul-construction/ Happy Warriors will like her take on Barbie the movie.

Two simple but powerful strategies for you to follow in order to be taken more seriously. Do you feel that hormone blockers and radical genital surgery should be inflicted on 16-year-olds? You might just be a Reality Denier.  Do you feel that the brazen robbers who ransack hi end clothing stores, jewelry stores, and luxury retailers do so on account of capitalism, racism, sexism, or poverty? You just might be a Reality Denier. Do you feel that governments can spend whatever they like because they can always print more money? You might just be a Reality Denier. Ryan might or might not be a Reality Denier but he is a young man who wrote me explaining why he has chosen to keep women out of his life. Is Ryan going to become a priest? Not even close. Ryan doesn’t like the women he meets on the Internet dating site, Tinder. His alternative is celibacy, and he thinks that is just fine. I answer Ryan on this show.

This important show describes how wise and stable governments do 2 things really well: they maintain the value of the currency and they protect parent-child relationships. The obvious results are strong families, stable society, and widespread affluence. Tyrannical regimes do exactly the opposite. They debase the currency, seriously eroding its value by causing inflation, and they undermine parent-child relationships. The obvious results are fewer people living in families, more dependency on government, more crime, dysfunctional bureaucracies, lowered lifestyles and increased poverty, more mental illness, and a declining society. Why would they do that? To remain in power of course, silly. Surely you knew that. As many as 1 in 4 American adults are estranged from a parent. I explain whether there is more estrangement from fathers or from mothers and why. The most popular tattoo in prison and why.

Ever heard people say that people and monkeys share 98% of the same DNA? Here is the correct response to that not altogether untrue claim. Women’s bodies produce a few large eggs while men’s bodies produce millions of tiny sperm but here is the real difference between men and women. Why do two similar people who have received the same amount of money not have equal net worth? The natural world does not produce much equality. There are not even two identical electrons. But secular fundamentalism focuses on equality. Equal is demonstrably impossible. Do you want to live a life of freedom, tranquility, and prosperity? What is a bigger threat to you—Income Inequality or Family Breakdown? Seriously. Listen and think. Do you want to know why politicians are promising to fight income inequality so fiercely right now? Does living among people who have more money than you (or less) make you miserable? How many times do you think the word “Equal” is found in the Five Books of Moses? If you love knowing how the world RE

Could Germany have repelled the D Day invasion landings in Normandy? Lessons for us today from how Germany and Japan fought World War 2. Goodbye Pat Robertson. Frenzied fanatics without an economic base can inflict great damage on a more economically successful nation but they cannot win a war.
